Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced 1 inch pieces
6 -8 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic and herb seasoning
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 lb bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup instant mashed potatoes
salt and pepper
cheddar cheese, shredded
green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large dutch oven, put potatoes, chicken broth (enough to cover potatoes), onion powder, garlic and herb seasoning, and chicken bouillon.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Slowly stir in Monterey jack cheese until melted.
  • Add cooked bacon; stir in half and half.
  • (I usually just sprinkle bacon on individual bowls of soup. That way it stays crunchy!).
  • Thicken to desired consistency with instant mashed potatoes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with cheddar cheese and chopped green onions (optional).
